    If i can get the damn head off, yeah, but it's not looking so good. I think i'm gonna need a breaker bar just so i loosen up the hex bolts that are on there.

    I thought I'd never see the day when you need a breaker bar to take a head off. I mean, the head bolt is only like the most torqued bolt throughout the car.

    Why do you think i'm baffled about this myself. It makes no sense, they should just unscrew pretty easily.

    How about this, you bring a 10mm Hex key over and you try to knock them loose. You'll see what i'm talking about.

    The only thing that i can think of is that i'm not doing it in the right order, but that should bear no consequence to the fact that not a single one of them wants to come loose.
